THE CREATION EXPLAINED WITHOUT 
ANY MYSTERY 



J. R. RALUY, TO PETER WHO CONTINUES THE 
WORK OF JESUS 

When I first read your pamphlet, Various Discussions between a 
Catholic Pretending to be Wise and One ivho Denounces Catholicism, I 
proposed to find out the truth of the matter by following the instruction 
there given ; and, as this did not seem sufficient to me, I attended the 
teaching given in your school. This filled up the void there then was 
in my soul, but not altogether, as I wondered that such good things 
had not been made known before. 

When I read the invitation of the good shepherd to mankind — - 
published as the First Revelation — I understood how great was the 
truth contained therein ; and, breaking away from the old traditions 
concerning God and the soul, I proposed to follow. Shortly after I left 
the work at the factory and succeeded in knowing who I am, whence 
my soul and spirit come and why I am here, where I must go to and 
by whom I was created, I spoke with this Creator in his own language, 
and saw how all living beings were created. 

When I had learned all these things, and saw that humanity was 
moving in quite another direction, I desired to publish what had been 
revealed to me, so that all who will may be as happy as we are — at least 
when the soul escapes from this land of exile. Yet I must relate not 
only what I alone have seen and understood, as most of these things 
have been revealed to us together. 

I would therefore request you, our sister, for the benefit of all 
humanity, to allow me to publish the explanation of the cause of 
ignorance and the damage done by religious slavery. 

PETER THE CONTINUER TO J. R. RALUY. 

Your request is willingly granted ; and if, after examination, I find 
the necessary purity of conscience is evident, I will be responsible with 
you for any prejudice souls may suffer for following the path you point 
out. 



THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

An Address to the Human Race living on the Earth and 
more especially to the clergy of all religions, to those 
Learned in Philosophy, Theology, Physical, and Chemical 
Sciences, etc. {I say more especially because you are the guides of 
the rest of humanity, as they, being ignorant, wait upon your utter- 
ances and regard them as sacred and true, until they become blind 
fanatics, without trying to ascertain each for himself what are the 
facts and what is indeed the sacred truth respecting human beings.) 

I have not come among you to pull down your buildings. No. I 
have come to give you new studies, new work, and to prepare the way 
so that you may accompany me in the great work of the regeneration 
of the exiled, so that all may be as happy as they wish. 

Study : use your intellectual powers and develop your longing for 
true knowledge, and those who do this will soon obtain their reward. 

Comprehend, my beloved brethren, that humanity is asleep — or, 
rather, in a state of oblivion without having grasped what is of the 
greatest interest to it. What is the reason of this ? This is your fault, 
although you are not aware of it. In your studies you have spent your 
time learning traditions, but have not troubled to find out for yourselves 
what errors may have been made ; you have not understood that no 
one is infallible, and that, just as a material art progresses, so does the 
esse?itial of a human being advance. 

Do you perhaps believe that the Universal Creator would close the 
gate against anyone who wished to enter? No ; One who is all love, 
charity, peace, kindness, and compassion is ever waiting for His children 
calling to them, that He may gather them to His bosom even though 
they had been prodigal. 1 Can you understand that did He not act thus, 
He could not possess these aforesaid attributes with which He is 
accredited by common consent. But He is also infinite justice, and 
only those who fulfil the law which He has decreed for all can reach 
His gates. This law is : Do unto others as thou wouldst be done by. 
(Bear this in mind and practise it.) 

Some of you who call yourselves Materialists and attribute all to 
matter will take no notice of this warning from a brother who loves 
you ; yet I beseech you to consider it carefully, and many of you will be 
grateful to me therefor later on. 

Tell me now: Is it not true that when you go into the country and 
see vegetables and animals fulfilling the laws of nature you feel this is 
so marvellous that you fail to understand it? Is it not true that you 
experience the same sensation when looking at the sea ? And tell me : 
Is it not true that when you see a work of art that you admire you try 

1 Note that the spirits created by God have to suffer a series of incarnations 
in different worlds, in each of which they must act well and continually advance * 
towards perfection and reach the end of their journey, i.e. return to the home 
of God, purified and perfected. These words imply that there is no eternal 
proscription. God does not eternally punish nor banish His creatures, however 
bad they may have been. Sooner or later a moment always comes when they 
recognise their faults, and, chastened by punishments, they try to perfect and 
purify themselves, and invariably they succeed. Will and perseverance are 
capable of anything ; and God is not revengeful, as certain religions paint Him 
(for instance the Catholics), condemning souls for all eternity. Being good and 
merciful He always offers a rope, a saving hand, that is to say a lucid moment, 
to the spirit that it may comprehend its errors and beg to work for its improve- 
ment, and later on, like the just, enjoy the presence of the Father. 



WITHOUT ANY MYSTERY 5 

to find out the name, or to make the acquaintance, of the artist whose 
work pleases you so much ? Why, then, should you not also seek the 
Author of nature? And what starting-point for this investigation does 
your intelligence provide, since it has afforded you such a store of 
knowledge. 

You know the substances of which animal and human bodies are com- 
posed ; x but have you been able to construct any the same as the natural 
ones ? No. Have you ever been able to detain any intelligence when, 
as you say, the matter is dead ? Why have you not at least been able 
to transfer that intelligence to the men you have constructed with tools 
out of matter ? When you have indulged in sexual intercourse have you 
always had children ? What are you then ? Where does your intelli- 
gence come from ? Why are you here ? How should you act to get 
out of the chaos in which you find yourselves? Whither should you go 
to enjoy eternal bliss ? None of these questions can you answer, for you 
are ignorant of all these things ; but you understand that you are not 
living in this earth merely to eat, and you show this by the perseverance 
with which you work and the longing you have for knowledge. I have 
come among you that all who desire may become truly wise. 

Study thoroughly by all the means afforded by the school I offer you, 
and then you will understand the reason of the agitation in which man- 
kind is living at the present moment. What is the cause of this agita- 
tion? Is it perhaps a presentiment that so-called calamitous times are 
coming ? Undoubtedly it is so ; but if man were but mere matter he 
would not have such presentiments. Where do they come from then ? 
Is it perhaps what your brethren from beyond the grave have been 
announcing for the last forty years ? If it is so then, why are you not 
all prepared to bravely await events ? Do you perhaps believe that you 
know enough to detain them ? If, then, this be so, verily I say unto 
you that all that the Supreme Being has decreed shall be fulfilled ; 
for the Law of Nature 2 is immutable, and your world must suffer the 
sixth cataclysm before it can rise, as is in justice its due. 

Here now is what I have to tell you : Rise up again in the law of 
love, peace, and charity; or, clearer still, love one another like the 
brothers which in reality you are, and behave to others as you would 
that they should behave unto you. This is the one and only way to 
show your love for God, as you offend Him each time that you offend 
one of His creatures. 

You have known your earthly father, and he has given you a language 
to communicate with each other. You have a spiritual Father, and you 
have also another language with which you can communicate with Him. 
I will instruct you about this ; but first let us meditate fervently, and 
He will hear us, and in His justice answer each one according to how 
he has kept His law. 

1 Man still ignores many material things ; Nature still guards many secrets 
that man has not been able to discover. For instance, respecting the knowledge 
of what is the essence of oxygen. Although the greatest chemists have tried to 
discover it, they have sought in vain — R. de Campoamor, in his book Ideismo, 
mentions this as an argument against materialism. 

2 Although it is said here "Natural Law," that does not exclude Divinity. 
God, when creating the Universe, gave a numher of laws to which the great 
machine is subject, and as they govern Nature they are called Natural Laws, not 
because they do not proceed from God. Thus it is equally the Law of Nature 
that the corn shall grow from the seed, as the great cataclysms observed when 
worlds pass from one state to another. 



6 THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

Having read this, I undertook to explain the mystery of the union 
of couples, and why such unions are not always fruitful. With this end 
in view, I studied philosophy and natural theology by your advice and 
that of my master, so that I soon found out the right way, as I shall 
now proceed to tell you — and something more besides. 

THE CREATION OF LIVING BEINGS. 

The spirits of the higher grades, or the workers of the great universal 
laboratory, receive the molecules or gases which escape when the 
human body " dies " (as is commonly said) and take them to the 
universal laboratory. There are many beings there who purify them by 
means of instruments and purifiers similar to our material filtres. 
When these gases have been sufficiently filtred, they are separated into 
three classes, each of which has a different colour. The first class is 
used to create the form of the human spirit (pride, egoism, and vanity) ; 
the second to create the animal spirit ; and the third for the vegetables. 
The workers prepare the molecules of the first class as the baker 
prepares the flour before baking the bread — but without putting in the 
yeast — and it remains dull and inert because it is without life. (Life or 
soul is love, peace and charity ; or, light, life, and intelligence. It 
must be borne in mind that these things are explained with material 
comparisons and examples that they may be more readily understood.) 
They take these inert forms, place them in boxes, and bear them to the 
Sun of Justice, where they are deposited. 

The Universal Creator resides in the Sun of Justice. He is the 
author of all intelligence, and is commonly known by the name of God. 
He is the purest, most immaterial spirit, whence come all vital essences 
for the generation of nature, and possesses the attributes of love, peace, 
charity, goodness, mercy, and justice, and exercises them towards His 
children — " the human spirits "■ — from the moment they are given life 
and intelligence. 

We have already said that the workers in the great laboratory 
prepare the molecules ; and by permission and according to the will of 
God they also mould the spirit, but they have no power to give it life. 
To give life to a human being God takes one of the forms that have 
been prepared in the laboratory, examines it carefully, and retouches it 
until it -satisfies Him, and with an instrument not unlike a knife He 
makes a cut in the upper part of the head, and with the same instrument 
takes a spark of His brilliant light, which He passes into the head, and 
then closes up the wound made before. From this moment the spirit is 
endowed with life and intelligence similar to the Father Creator by 
means of the spark of His own life with which He has endowed it ; 
but it is very ignorant, owing to its form having been wrought of purified 
matters inexpressible to the mind of man. 

As soon as He has given him life He imposes this commandment : 
Go, pass through the plurality of worlds, and I charge thee to treat all 
thy brethren with love, peace, and charity. Thou shalt not return to 



WITHOUT ANY MYSTERY 7 

my side until thou hast fulfilled this commandment. You bear your 
own free-will. And in the same instant the Father becomes unchange- 
able towards him, as, by virtue of His attributes of peace, He neither 
punishes nor forgives any of His children. 

God creates the spirits, thanks to His attribute of love, and gives 
them a spiritual language for purposes of communication. He also 
creates animal and vegetable spirits, and puts them at the disposition of 
human beings to supply their needs. Yet this bounty must not be 
abused. As the spirit cannot proceed alone when it leaves its Father's 
side, the Creator, thanks to His charity, gives it another superior being 
as a guide. This guide aids him to pass through the plurality of worlds 
he has to traverse, and is charged to remind the young spirit of the 
commandment the Father imposed at his creation, and that he may not 
return to His side until he has fulfilled it. The protecting guide and 
his protege are united by a fluid force which proceeds from the Paternal 
Home. Whenever the protege is about to transgress, the protector warns 
him by what we humans commonly call our conscience. 

God, in virtue of His attributes of goodness and mercy, has granted 
us free-will and the incarnations that may be necessary for us to fulfil 
His commandment. And as they advance in the fulfilment thereof, 
thanks to His attribute of Justice, He allows all His children to see 
and understand Him more clearly — that is to say, as the spark of light 
with which the spirit was endowed conquers the molecule part, so 
the greater part, instead of being matter, becomes essence. 

Then it is that the spirit ceases to be young, and is obedient to 
superior brothers. The more it obeys the will of God, the nearer it 
approaches to Him, and its light and perfection increases so much that 
the Father allows it certain powers in the work of the universe ; but it 
is always subject to the Justice of the Author of its being. 

THE DEPARTURE OF THE SPIRIT FROM THE PATERNAL 
HOME, AND ITS TRANSMIGRATION IN THE WORLDS 
THROUGH WHICH IT PASSES. 

When the young, ignorant spirit leaves its paternal Home, the 
"Central Sun," the protecting guide, carries it in its arms. After 
remaining in space for some moments it is introduced into the 
world where it shall first become incarnate, and the earth or soil of that 
world will be as a mother to it. We will say something as to what 
happens on this globe — for it has been granted us to see seven of the 
worlds that form the spiritual scale of descent, from the departure from 
the Sun until the New Jerusalem — that is to say, before the spirit 
becomes incarnate on the Earth, in exile. 

Before any spirit becomes incarnate in any of the worlds it traverses 
the great infallible Creator and Author of Nature has already placed 
animals and vegetables there, for the human being to make use of 
according to his requirements. 

On entering the first world we see that the soil is darker than that 



8 THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

of the place of exile we now inhabit ; and at some distance is a small 
tree, beside which stands a human being, to protect it from any damage. 
Certain classes of small animals and various kinds of vegetables and 
water are also to be seen. (Although it appears to be water, it may be, 
as in the Sun, that it is light.) 

The spirit that is to become incarnate arrives with its protecting 
guide, who immediately goes to greet the brother guarding the tree, 
and shows him what is in his arms ; then the protecting guide is shown 
where to place the spirit that it may assume its first material form. 
After pressing an affectionate kiss on its forehead the guide leaves it on 
the ground and slowly departs ; but they still remain joined by the fluid 
bond from the Sun of Justice. As soon as it is left alone a heavy rain 
seems to fall on it and cover it completely ; then it takes form and 
matter from that world, but remains fast asleep. When it awakes it is 
already embodied, but cannot recognise itself, as the material part 
weighs more than the essential. The protecting guide watches over it 
with the greatest interest. Its form when it awakes is most strange. 

It is the colour of its mother, Earth, and its shape resembles a big 
caterpillar — round and hairy. Owing to its great weight it moves 
lazily, feeding on the animals and vegetables within its reach. After 
some time it falls asleep again on the ground where it took shape, and 
later on re-awakens, but free from the weight of matter. It has now the 
form of a butterfly ; but it is still too heavy to fly, as the weight it has 
borne since the creation of the spirit hampers it. The guide hastily 
clasps it in his arms, and after he has again saluted the brother who 
guards the tree they depart from that world for another, while the guide 
again impresses upon him our Father's commandment. 

It becomes incarnate again as in the previous world, where all has 
also been prepared, and the ground produces vegetables and animals, 
which are at the service of the human beings there incarnate. When 
the human being awakes in this world he again finds himself bound to 
the weight of matter, and his material shape is very similar to that he 
bore in the former incarnation, but, somewhat different in colour and 
movement, begins to be easier ; he can crawl along the ground and eat 
something. However, he cannot reach yet the tree standing near, 
though the protecting guide does not leave him for an instant out of his 
sight. 

A certain time having thus elapsed, the human being falls asleep 
again to leave the form he had assumed, and is again converted into a 
butterfly, much lighter than before. But he knows not where to fly, 
and the protecting guide quickly comes and takes him in his arms 
again, repeating to him the Divine commandment. Then he is borne 
through the scale of worlds in which, according to the law of Divine 
justice, he has to undergo incarnation, being banished from the paternal 
home — that is to say, the Centre of the Sun — if he does not fulfil the 
Divine commandment. The protecting guide, in whose charge he is, 
introduces him again to the world, where he is about to become incar- 
nate, just as he did in the others ; for in all the plurality of worlds the 



WITHOUT ANY MYSTERY 9 

Earth is the mother of beings. On awakening he finds himself 
embodied in the form he is to assume ; this is similar to that of a 
small monkey, very hairy. Already he is clever at walking and eating, 
but does not remember to fulfil the Divine law. 

The protecting guide always suggests Love, Peace, and Charity 
towards all their fellow creatures, but they will not listen ; on the con- 
trary, sometimes they ill-treat and beat their brethren, as they are so 
possessed with egoism that they care only for themselves, that they may 
eat although the others starve. 

The separation from the matter occurs in this world as in the others 
— in a deep, sound sleep ; and on awakening he is transformed into a 
butterfly of pretty colours, with a little dim light at the head. The 
guide takes him and reminds him of the Creator's Commandment, 
telling him that, having failed to fulfil it, he must suffer incarnation in 
another world which separates him still farther from the paternal home. 

The guide, therefore, again introduces him to another world, where 
he awakes to find himself incarnate with strength and energy to walk 
and eat. His shape resembles that of men on our Earth, or exile, but 
he is very short and hairy. As he grows and his organs develop, he 
takes possession of some spot that pleases him ; and if he finds one of 
his brethren there, he drives him away and remains himself. 

Then the guide warns him, recommending him to keep the law; 
but he will not obey ; on the contrary, he shuts his ears that he may 
not hear, and continues ill-treating his fellow creatures who are weaker 
than he. 

Among those who are ill-treated some separate themselves from the 
proud and go and sit near the tree of philosophy that stands in the 
midst of that world, eating the fruit they find there, of which there is 
always plenty, and talking to the brother who is there. They are 
happy so long as they are not governed by pride, egoism, and vanity. 
But, unfortunately, these qualities get the upper hand, as the material 
portion of their being is still stronger than the essence — that is to say, 
pride, selfishness, and vanity dominate over love, peace, and charity. 
So, instead of listening attentively to the warnings of the guide, which 
they can understand, they disobey ; and all the knowledge they gain as 
their organs develop they devote to the increase of their passions. 

They leave the material form as before in the previous worlds, and 
when they awake the guide explains that they have not done their 
duty, and they have no strength in their wings with which they can rise. 
On the contrary, the material weight drags down the spirit which fain 
would soar upwards. 

The guide again introduces him to another world, where he becomes 
incarnate just as before, and on awakening finds vegetables and animals 
at his service. His form is quite similar to that of the world before, 
although lighter in colour, and here are many fruit-trees providing an 
abundance of fruit. All beings eat and drink, and some of them are 
fairly happy, as they understand their protecting guide pretty well and 
keep in touch with him. Yet the majority of the inhabitants of this 



io THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

world are governed by the enemies of the soul (pride, selfishness, and 
vanity), and, instead of showing affection for their fellow-creatures, they 
beat and ill-treat them. Some tear off branches from the trees and 
make weapons of these sticks with which to wound their brethren. 

Not having fulfilled the Divine law, the guide takes them to another 
world lower in the scale, just as he did before ; but they continue to 
ill-treat their humble fellow creatures. 

More angrily and violently does he now tear the branches from the 
trees and make arms thereof with which he kills those who will not yield 
to his whims ; others tear, bite, and devour each other like wild beasts 
in what on Earth are called deserts. 

Nevertheless, there are others who enjoy their life in this world as 
they eat and drink and draw near to the tree and converse with the 
brother who tends it. These also understand the warning of their 
guide to fulfil the Divine commandment towards their fellow-creatures. 
To depart from this form of incarnation they fall asleep on the ground, 
and when they awake the guide shows them a straight level and a 
paper. Those who have sufficiently fulfilled the Divine law are per- 
mitted incarnation in the final state of the spiritual scale, the New 
Jerusalem. But those who have rebelled against God's law remain to 
be judged, and are borne away into exile to suffer the punishment of 
retaliation, and have to suffer just as they made their brethren suffer. 

When they fulfil the Divine law of their own free will, then they 
approach nearer to God and mount upwards in the spiritual scale. 

THE CREATION OF THE WORLD (THE EARTH AS A 
PLACE OF EXILE) ACCORDING TO THE GENESIS OF 
THE BIBLE. 

In the first chapter we are told that God made the Heavens, Earth, 
stars, plants and animals, and more especially man, to whom He sub- 
jected all creation. God created all in six days, saw that it was well, 
and on the seventh day He rested from all the work He had done. 
The twenty-seventh verse of the same chapter says : God created man 
after His own image, and adds that He made male and female and 
blessed all He had created and placed at the disposal of man : the fish 
in the sea, the birds of the air, and the beasts of the Earth. In the 
second chapter, verse 7, says God (Jehovah) made man from the dust 
of the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and so 
became man a living soul. After having created them, God placed 
them in an earthly paradise. In the same chapter, verse 22, we read 
that woman was made from one of the man's ribs and given unto man, but 
later (by the advice of the serpent) she deceived him and induced him 
to partake of the forbidden fruit of the tree that stood in the midst of 
the Garden of Eden. This fruit (sexual pleasures) was forbidden to 
them. God forbade them to eat of it, and, having done so, He expelled 
them from Paradise for their disobedience. 

Further on in this chapter we are told that Cain and Abel were 



WITHOUT ANY MYSTERY n 

born of Adam and Eve ; that Cain was a bad man and Abel was good, 
and how the former envied his brother and slew him, etc., etc. 

The Bible in Genesis tells us all this about the creation and 
population of the world; but we ask: Who were the first male and 
female created by God, as it says that Adam and Eve were made from 
dust, and the woman from a rib from the man's side ? 

We can affirm that Genesis, as related in the Bible, is false, and we 
will proceed to prove it. Let us take each part separately. 

God, the Author of all Nature, is infallible, and all His Laws are 
immutable. As He, therefore, is infallible, we cannot believe such 
absurdities. 

When God had created all things on Earth human beings appeared, 
the Earth being their mother, as was the case in the other worlds of the 
spiritual scale in which he had become incarnate. 

Many human beings came at the same time, and all were herma- 
phrodite ; this is the male and female of which we are told in the first 
chapter of the Bible. Thus Adam was not the first ; many Adams 
appeared on Earth simultaneously. 

Since its creation the Earth has gone through two epochs. During 
the first man could not indulge in sexual pleasures, because he 
possessed both sexes in one, and so made no use of them ; while he 
was banished from other better worlds for not having fulfilled the Divine 
commandment imposed upon him when he was created. 

Yet the animals had these pleasures ; they have always had the 
same natural enjoyments in all the worlds where the human was 
incarnate. But though man was happy in the first epoch — that is to 
say, in Paradise — he envied the animals, as they enjoyed sexual 
pleasures which he had not. This is why they wanted to taste the 
forbidden fruit (sexual pleasures) of the tree in the Garden of Eden, 
and neither the serpent nor the woman is in any way to blame 
therefor : the fault is man's own pride, selfishness, and vanity, or his 
own envy. Cain and Abel clearly exemplify the two epochs with the 
expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden for their disobe- 
dience. Afterwards Cain slew his brother Abel, thus strengthening the 
pride, selfishness, and vanity of the human beings who at first were 
happy, but became slaves of their passions ; and this has, unfortunately, 
lasted until to-day. With the death of Abel the first epoch of the earth 
came to an end ; for he was good, and there were many like him who, 
fulfilling the commandment of love, peace, and charity, lived like him 
without working, the animals and vegetables satisfying perfectly all 
their requirements. He needed only one more incarnation on Earth to 
fulfil the Divine law; but the majority of humans knew that they had 
had pleasures in other worlds. This they learnt from their protecting 
guide ; and the power of matter dominated them, and they claimed 
to enjoy. The Father, by His law of love, kindness, and compassion, 
grants His children what they request ; but, in order to do this, the 
Earth had to suffer a total cataclysm ; and, indeed, the Earth was burnt, 
and all reduced to ashes. 



12 THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

SECOND EPOCH OF THE EARTH. 

Having shown the concession made by the Spiritual Father to the 
human spirit by virtue of His law of love, kindness, and compassion, 
we will now explain what He has done by the law of Justice. 

After the catastrophe by the force of matter the fire began to 
concentrate in the centre of the Earth, and soon the crust was ready to 
receive the three classes of spirits as in the first epoch, in the same 
manner and following the same order ; but the human beings who had 
requested sexual pleasures now brought with them the knowledge of 
sex, except those who were content to live with the two sexes combined 
in one person and so without enjoyment. The others were condemned 
to work, in exchange for the sexual pleasures they were now permitted. 
Thus the Earth was inhabited in the two epochs which exiled humanity 
has required for the fulfilment of its deserts and retribution. All 
became incarnate from the mother Earth, until males and females 
arrived at the state of adolescence and recognised the fact. Then 
material generation commenced as it is known to this day. 

We have already before explained how man became incarnate on 
Earth or in exile in the first epoch, and now we shall explain the 
creation of the Earth, and compare this with the creation of the world 
as related in the first and second chapters of Genesis in the Bible. 

THE CREATION OF THE EARTH. 

The origin of the Earth we inhabit was a separation from the planet 
known as Mars, which was then enveloped in atmosphere. When the 
Earth was thrown off from Mars it caught fire, and on arriving at the 
spot it was to occupy it stopped, but continued revolving, as it does to 
this day. Then the outer crust of the Earth formed, and the fire was 
enclosed in the centre. 

When the crust had been sufficiently prepared aqueous vapours 
escaped, owing to the action of the fire inside, and from these the 
atmosphere surrounding the Earth was formed. Similar action formed 
the seas, and animal and vegetable life soon inhabited the dry land. 
When the animal and vegetable " spirit " assumed its material form, 
then also human beings came to this place of exile to pay the penalty 
of retribution, of which we spoke before. 

And does humanity know why it is on Earth ? 

So that it may not plead ignorance let us now repeat it : Mankind 
has been banished here because it has not fulfilled the Divine 
law in other and better worlds where it was previously incarnate. 
Consequently, it cannot depart from this world until it has fulfilled the 
law which God the Father Creator imposed upon the spirit (or material 
part — pride, selfishness, and vanity) when He endowed it with an 
atom of His Divine Essence ; and, if one incarnation is not sufficient 
for the fulfilment of that law, another may be taken. God in His 
mercy will grant it. But those triple rebels who are again banished are 



WITHOUT ANY MYSTERY 13 

not permitted in God's justice to take incarnation as at first on the 
surface of the Earth, but in the new exile, of which we shall speak later 
on. Now, some may ask : How may we fulfil the Divine com- 
mandment ? 

There have always been beings who explain and expound it to 
mankind. Of these Jesus, called the Christ, expressed the law of the 
Father Creator in the saying, " Love thy neighbour as thyself." He 
also said, " Do unto others as thou wouldst be done by, as thereby 
thou lovest thy Father that art in heaven." This is the law and the 
prophet, which we accept because it is the true one and the easiest to 
understand. 

Without fulfilling the law the human spirit cannot depart from its 
present place of exile, nor continue its spiritual progress, and reach the 
arms of its Creator. 

Every human spirit, by the law of spiritual progress and Divine 
justice, must reach the arms of the Creator sooner or later, according 
to his fulfilment of the law. When he shows love, peace, and charity 
towards all his fellow creatures he is drawing near ; and this he may 
understand and observe with ease, because the essence masters the 
matter, and his intelligence clearly sees the. great work of Nature and 
the Author thereof. He can then also commune with Him by means 
of the language of the soul (thought), as on Earth we communicate 
by speech as the child grows older. The same thing happens to the 
human spirit, whether it be free or incarnate, as soon as it fulfils the 
commandment. God has no mysteries for those who bow to His will. 

Here on Earth, or in exile, the protecting guide directs his protege 
the same as in all other worlds through which the spirit passes, 
and always when he is about to break the law he warns him in time by 
means of his conscience; and whoever heeds these warnings neither sins 
nor offends God. For God is never offended except when we do wrong 
to our fellow creatures, as He and His laws are immutable. The pro- 
tecting guide often communicates with his protege when he is called to 
instruct him in spiritual things ; but if he is asked about material things 
he will not receive the true answer, for as a spirit he can only answer 
about spiritual things. Material knowledge man can seek on Earth for 
himself. 

When a human being, either free or incarnate, wants to ask his 
protector something about natural philosophy he must raise his thoughts 
fixedly to the Sun of Justice and separate them from all mundane things 
without any passion or ill-will towards any of his fellow creatures. Do 
not doubt that the nearer his thoughts approach the Sun the purer will 
be the answer he will receive in accordance with Divine justice. 

God does not hide himself from those who truly wish to see Him, 
and His light shines alike for rich and poor, white men and negroes, 
etc. Bear in mind, just as you separate yourself farther from your 
Creator by doing evil, so do you draw nearer to Him by doing good ; 
thus each one is responsible for his actions so long as he retains 
the free-will with which he was endowed when God created him. So 



14 THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

far we have explained the creation of the human spirit and its trans- 
migration through a descending scale of worlds until it arrives at 
this place of exile. Now we will deal with the new exile or centre 
of the Earth. 

As everything created by God is subject to His immutable laws 
of progress, everything progresses and is useful ; nothing is destroyed. 
We have also spoken of the creation and population of the earth in its 
two epochs, but it has to ascend as is its due, according to the law of 
justice and as in the other worlds of the spiritual scale. 

Therefore the re-exiled and triple rebels are not allowed to take 
incarnation again on Earth, but after being spiritually judged they are 
conducted to the centre of the Earth. Thus humanity on Earth will 
gradually diminish, as the human spirits that become incarnate here are 
already fairly dematerialised and prepared to fulfil more faithfully the 
law of love, peace, and charity towards their fellow creatures. 

THE NEW EXILE OR CENTRE OF THE EARTH. 

The New Exile is in the centre of the Earth, and so little light 
penetrates there that the Sun cannot be seen, and even at midday is no 
better than twilight. The atmosphere or wall may be compared to a 
vaulted roof of glass above which all is water. The ground is damp and 
muddy, with occasional pools of dirty stagnant water. 

The Earth is the mother of the human beings who by the law 
of justice are condemned to exist there. The damp Earth gives birth 
to some, others are born of the foul water, and others of the rocks. 

Strange are their forms compared with those they bore in other 
worlds.' They have no known sex, and are of a dark yellowish colour. 
Those born of the water, although human, resemble frogs ; others have 
their faces and hands considerably changed. Their fingers are by 
one joint shorter than ours, and the palms are short and broad. 

Sad indeed is their state. They can never satisfy their desires ; 
all their work is a search for food, which they can scarcely find 
among the foul mire, and when found they devour it greedily. And as 
they creep about in the mud you may discern something like the tail of 
a fish joining their legs together. 

All beings there incarnate are in constant agony ; it is horrible to 
see them. They can understand nothing of the spiritual language, and 
for ever suffer cold and hunger, as, although vegetables and animals 
are there, they do not suffice for their needs. But these sufferings are 
not eternal, as certain so-called religions teach us. Spirits do not 
remain for ever in hell, nor are they burned, as there is no fire there. 
He remains there only so long as is necessary to rid himself of his 
enemies — pride, selfishness, and vanity ; for, as God is wise and just, 
He cannot allow His children to suffer eternally. (Were He to do so, 
He would be even less than man.) 

The Earth we inhabit is divided into five parts, and each of 
them has now, and has had before, a regent brother — a "local spirit" 



WITHOUT ANY MYSTERY 15 

— who directs the progress of his allotted portion of humanity. All five 
are subject to the orders of the general regent. At present there is 
materially among us one sent for the regeneration of the human race. 
The new exile also has its regent, and he has to conduct those who 
by the law of justice are condemned to take incarnation there. This 
regent is in constant communication with the Regent of Earth by 
means of the language of the soul, as these two together have power to 
regenerate the human spirit and make it fulfil the Divine law. 
But there is the difference, that whilst the " material one " exhorts you 
to comply on Earth, the second orders and commands in the centre. 

Sometimes this brother spiritually ascends to the other part of the 
atmosphere and reads in the great book of life, of which we shall speak 
later on; and, together with other beings whose mission has been 
fulfilled, looks to see if any of the beings who are incarnate in 
the centre of the Earth may justly come out ; and if they have purged 
themselves of their faults they are allowed to leave the new exile and 
the material form they had there assumed. 

Instantly their protecting guide takes care of them, and they are 
permitted to again become incarnate on Earth — men and women 
preparing the matter that shall clothe them, just as was done before 
they were in the centre of the Earth. 

It is sufficient for the spirit to become incarnate once in the centre 
of the Earth, and there be sufficiently purged of matter to become again 
incarnate on the surface of the Earth. Then he meditates and seeks 
the Author of his being with the help of charitable brothers and his 
protecting guide. Having now conquered his enemies, the spirit arises, 
and the material parts of his spirit — pride, selfishness, and vanity — no 
longer drag him down, but let him rise in the fulfilment of the Divine com- 
mandment, and in meditation he traverses the realm of space until his 
soul reaches the arms of his Creator. By His justice we may reach 
Him when we fulfil the Divine commandment, and may commune with 
Him and our free brethren by means of the language of the soul which 
He has granted us in His love, although we are still in the flesh. God 
is love and justice for those incarnate, just as for those in freedom — to 
all He gives what is justly due to them. 

As proof of the truth of what has been said about the creation of 
worlds and of the accuracy of the account of "The White Jesuit" 
of " Eros World," I had an opportunity to witness the creation of 
another, which has convinced me of the veracity of his story. 

THE PREPARATION FOR FORMING A NEW WORLD. 

In one of our spiritual excursions my protecting guide and I were 
transported to the paternal home (the Central Sun), but after a few 
moments we departed, watching in space two human beings (such as 
two men on Earth) who had gone from the Sun carrying between them 
an enormous saw as is used to saw wood on Earth. When they had 
arrived at a certain distance they stopped to converse, and then 



16 THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

continued. Suddenly a great star came in sight connected with the 
Central Sun by an enormous cable. 

The two brothers approached the star, but, separating from each 
other, still held the saw, and began to use it until they had sawn off a 
piece, which remained stationary. Somewhat later the same brothers 
appeared again, and pulled the piece they had cut off until it was 
drawn out very thin. Then we saw a brother in the Central Sun 
in the garden, where there is a great lake full of the clearest water. 

This brother had in his hands something like a great hose-pipe, 
which he filled with what was in the lake and the garden, and bore it 
to the piece which the other two brothers had prepared. 

When some of these substances had been introduced therein, he 
stopped to water them from the " solar " garden. The other brothers 
took both ends of the piece and closed them, thus enclosing all the 
seeds of animals as well as vegetables, but only in essence, as only the 
vitalities of all species come from the Sun. When they had finished 
closing the piece it began to revolve, always in the same direction ; yet 
suddenly the revolutions grew much faster, being sustained and bound 
by a cable to the Central Sun. 

When this was done the two first brothers took the instrument and 
went towards the solar garden, where they embraced the brother who 
was watering, and for an instant they were changed into three globes of 
sunlight ; then they entered the abode of the great Architect of the 
Universe, and all three embraced Him joyfully. My guide said, 
" Look ! they have just formed a new world, which is an image of the 
one from which they have taken a part to make it of; yet this one has 
lost nothing thereby." And together we bear witness to the truth of 
what we have seen with the eyes of the soul. 

When it was granted to me to see the creation of vital beings and 
the creation of worlds my soul felt satisfied, but I still wanted to see 
the plan clearly and the universal architecture ; and indeed I was 
afforded an opportunity to visit the great solar hall on the day of the 
eclipse of the Sun, August 30, 1905. When "fluidly" I penetrated to 
the Sun there appeared to my spiritual vision a great hall surrounded by 
guards with halberds, who watched a royal throne, around which were a 
host of brothers like winged lions and human faces, and from whose 
eyes shot bright rays of light. Seated on the throne I saw the Creator 
and Universal Architect, who had the face and hands of a human being, 
but whose feet were not visible. 

His head was converted into a magnificent globe of light, and in front 
of His face was a triangle absolutely straight, which covered His face, 
and the base of which reached to His beard. A little above His head 
was an aureole of Suns, from which streamed dazzling rays of light, 
which penetrated into the Creator's head, forming a marvellous play of 
lights. 

Before the throne was a fine white table, apparently material, with a 
magnificent architectural plan, upon which were drawn all the stars of 
the entire universe. 



WITHOUT ANY MYSTERY 17 

This plan was fixed by a beautiful brilliant sword, the hilt of which 
is a triangle ; and in the centre of the sword is what appears to be a 
human eye, from which issue intense rays of light, each of which joins 
the stars which are drawn on the plan and gives them movement ; a fluid 
stream or a ray of light is sufficient. 

In another hall we saw all kinds of machinery, set in motion by the 
solar rays. 

We might cite many other things besides these which we have seen 
with our inner eyes ; but I think the foregoing is sufficient that humanity 
may understand, if it is able to do so, that the great plan of the 
universe and its Author are in the Sun. 

As a further proof thereof we give the following, published by P., 
the continuer of the work of Jesus. 

UNVEILED. 

As the wise co?iceal the things of the Sun, those so-called ignorant 
and mad must speak, that those who tvill may hear, and those who can 
may see. 

Humanity has seen that all the eclipses of the Sun have been caused 
by the moon coming between the earth and the Sun when they were 
opposite each other in the course of their ecliptic. 

These meetings at certain fixed periods show us clearly that there is 
a perfect architecture in the universe. But where may we find the 
Architect ? 

Philosophic Freemasons say we should adore the Sun as the king of 
the stars and the founder of nature. The philosopher said, centuries 
ago, that there is an intelligent soul in the sun, and that the human 
being is begot by the Sun and man. 

In 1 35 1 the Council of Constantinople approved the doctrine of 
Palama, in which he maintained that he could see the Divine essence 
with his own eyes ; but the Catholic bishops Efeso and Geno silenced 
him, and stripped him of all the insignias of his office for having 
published it. The wife of the Lord (now Catholicism), when joined 
to the Antichrist (Constantine, Emperor of the Gentiles), in 324 
changed the names of the Gentile gods for those of saints, in the form 
of men and women. In the twelfth century the shrine was created in 
the figure of the Sun, and, just as before they had images worshipped 
as saints, so the shrine was now worshipped as God himself ; and in 
order to represent the Holy Trinity they have recourse to the effigies of 
two men and a dove. The wise astronomer Flammarion, in his pub- 
lication about the eclipse of the Sun of August 30 last, tells us, among 
other things: "All that moves, circulates, and lives on our planet is 
descended from the Sun." 

Further, we must declare that in 1882, in Barcelona, we observed 
in the Sun a man seated, with a white beard, dressed in white, and with 
a perpendicular triangle from His brow to the point of the seat He 



18 THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

occupied. This occurred while going from Barcelona to Barceloneta, 
at eight o'clock in the morning. 

Since then our soul has often been in the arms of that same being, 
and has traversed certain parts of the centre of the Sun, that it may be 
able to speak the truth without any kind of hypothesis, just as others 
who have followed the paths I pointed out to them, have seen so much 
as was desirable of the solar centre, and of creation in general, as is 
proved in what now follows. 

March 15, 1898. 

CREATION OF THE WORLDS. 

La Cabana, in the second revelation, said that the Earth had been 
formed from portions broken off from another world, and gave the 
explanations thereof as she had received them, so that the scientists, 
who prided themselves so much on having taught people that comets 
were worlds in course of formation, might try to ascertain the truth 
before teaching errors. A so-called spiritual paper pretended to revoke 
La Cabana's right to speak so decidedly, as the scientists speak, and 
have always spoken, only by hypotheses. La Cabana then related only 
what had been told by the Pastor ; now, the White Jesuit, speaking for 
his own account, says, and will answer for it, that : 

In the month of June, 1895, in one of his excursions to the paternal 
spiritual home (the Central Sun), he was called by one of the workers of 
the great laboratory to see the preparations for the creation of a new 
world ; and it was actually done as if by material men, so that it may be 
better explained. 

When we arrived at some dark mountains (such as the atmosphere 
which surrounds the earth), he took an instrument and made a cut in 
one of them, which was immediately separated from the rest, and began 
to revolve rapidly on its own axis, as if tied to some other object. 
When this had been done we retired, just as if we had been two men. 

In October, 1896, the same workman called me again to take me to 
the site of the preparation, where we found it revolving just as we had 
left it. Then the workman, with a short gesture, put both of us in 
motion ; and the preparation followed us for a certain distance, when it 
spread itself out like a sheet. At this moment there arrived a piece 
cast off from another world, which was caught in the extended 
preparation, and wrapped round like a shroud. And at the same 
time it took on a prodigious velocity, but without changing its circuit. 

Then the workman said to the White Jesuit, in spiritual language, 
" A new world has now been formed ; go, and tell the exiles." 

We say nothing as to where it is, as there are no names there, and 
without names men cannot understand. We can only say it is in space 
away from the central Sun ; that the cause of the movement proceeded 
from the Sun ; and that it obeyed the workman as on Earth a horse 
obeys its rider. Let the astronomers, therefore, seek it with their 
instruments. It is not impossible to find it by material means. 



WITHOUT ANY MYSTERY 19 

We must, therefore, declare to be absurd the hypothesis that several 
scientists have published that man proceeds from animals and vege- 
tables. No. God cannot be less than man, and therefore He created 
living things for the recreations and necessities of His children, as man 
creates material objects. 

These men complain that we materialise things too much ; yet, 
without begging their pardon for our faults, we must tell them that in 
the same way they have been materialised so that we may bear witness 
to all humanity on Earth that we have seen them without any sort of 
hypothesis, and for the truth of which we will be responsible to our 
Heavenly Father. 

A NEW PLANET. 

(From "Scientific Notes" in The Vanguardia of Barcelona, 
October 28, i8g8.) 

It is not a question of the discovery of a new primary planet like 
Urano or Neptune, but only that of a small star belonging to the family 
of asteroids of which more than four hundred are known between the 
orbits of Mars and Jupiter. For this reason the discovery would be 
of no interest to the general reader if the planet in question did offer 
some peculiarities well worth mentioning. The new star was discovered 
on August 14 last by H. Vitt, in the Urania Observatory at Berlin. 
Its brilliancy was then that of a star of the eleventh magnitude, and its 
position close to that of the star "Beta" of the "Acuario." As usual, 
H. Witt determined the position of the planet for several days in 
succession, and from these observations H. Berberich made a pro- 
visional calculation of the orbit of the new star. Astronomers were 
immediately surprised by the rapid movement of the planet, which 
seemed to indicate something abnormal. And indeed this is the case, 
as the new planet is situate between the orbits of Mars and the Earth. 
Although, indeed, a considerable part of the orbit of the asteroid 
is beyond that of Mars, yet the distance between the new planet and 
the sun is less than its distance from Mars. (According to the 
provisional calculations of H. Berberich, which may be corrected ; but 
such rectifications are almost always trifling, as astronomers are 
scrupulously careful in their observations and calculations.) 

Taking the mean distance between the Earth and Sun as a unit, the 
distance from the planet to the Sun may be represented as 1.46, and to 
Mars as 1.52. In view of the positions and eccentricities of the orbits 
of the Earth and of the new planet, we find that this passes us at a 
minimum distance of twenty-two million kilometres, while it is never 
less than fifty-six million kilometres distant from Mars. If we add that 
Venus, when nearest to us, is more than thirty-eight million kilometres 
distant, we find that the new planet is, after the moon, the star that 
approaches nearest to the Earth. 

At its minimum distance it will be as brilliant as a star of the sixth 
magnitude — that is to say, visible to the naked eye. 



20 THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

I may add to these details that the new planet will take 645 days 
to complete its orbit, while that of Mars requires 687 ; and the incline 
of the plane of its orbit on the plane of the terrestrial orbit or ecliptic 
is ii° to 7 . With regard to its dimensions nothing definite can be said, 
as the new planet appears only as a luminous point ; nevertheless, from 
its brilliance it may be judged that its surface is comparable, perhaps, to 
such a region as Catalonia, for instance. 

All these circumstances are more remarkable if compared with the 
astronomical elements of the other stars. Everyone knows that between 
Jupiter and Mars circulates an extended crowd of small planets, the 
origin of which is, no doubt, the separation of the nebulous ring of 
cosmic matter which exists between the orbits of the said primary 
planets in the remote epoch of the formation of the planetary system. 
This separation must have been caused principally by the mass of 
Jupiter preventing, by means of its attractive force, the nebulous ring, 
from condensing into a single mass and constituting a single planet. 
The action of Jupiter on this crowd is clearly shown by the bare zones 
which we see therein in obedience to a law of distances from the Sun, 
which harmonise admirably with a succession of simple relations 
between the time of the revolution of Jupiter round the Sun and the 
revolutions corresponding to the real or hypothetical asteroids that 
occupy the said lakes or voids. 

There is also another asteroid with similar peculiarities to those of 
the new star, although they are far from being so remarkable. I refer to 
the planet Aethra, which, owing to the eccentricity of its orbit, is, at its 
perihelion between the Earth and Mars, at a distance from the Sun of 
1.64; but the period of revolution, as well as the mean distance from the 
Sun, are superior to analagous elements of Mars. Undoubtedly these 
anomalies are in great part due to the disturbing action of Mars. When 
an asteroid passes at a relatively small distance from Mars, the attractive 
force of the latter, in spite of its small size, is sufficient to modify the 
elements of the orbit of the asteroid, either diminishing or increasing 
its vectorial radius, or distance from the Sun, or varying the eccentricity 
or the inclination, etc., just as they may also be influenced by the 
mutual action of one asteroid on another. In the present case imagine the 
possibility that in the course of time, sooner or later, Mars and the new 
planet pass at the same time the points in which the two orbits cross, 
and then the distances between them may be so small (it might 
be reduced to nil, as it must be remembered that the longitude of the 
planetary nodes varies with the centuries, and evidently such a case 
would produce a collision between the two stars) that the attractive 
force of Mars may oblige the asteroid to follow a closed orbit around it 
— that is to say, transform it into its own satellite. I may here observe 
that the two diminutive satellites it has already (of ten or twelve kilo- 
metres each) show these peculiarities, which oblige us to consider 
them rather as asteroids captured by the planet than as its legitimate 
satellites. 

The field of science is full of surprises, and when you think you 



WITHOUT ANY MYSTERY 21 

have discovered everything of importance in a certain region or zone of 
our own planetary system, suddenly there appears a new star following 
an unknown course. These discoveries are for their authors the just 
reward for their constancy, love, and industry for science — these are the 
sweet satisfactions which reconcile one a thousand times to the loss of 
innumerable hours spent fruitlessly studying and observing the sky. 
Those who do not work themselves at such investigations, but who 
understand science (would that everyone understood it !), and feel an 
irresistible love for those studies that purify our spirit and let us live 
in the heavens — these new scientific discoveries give us more and more 
a clear idea of the infinity of Nature of which we form part, and ever 
further extend our view across time and space. 

Jose Comas Sola. 



Are the proofs sufficient for materialists and the falsely religious not 
to pretend to deny the light of the soul in material affairs, like the 
sciences ? All recognise that there is a great Universal Architect of the 
Universe. Why have ye not found Him ? Because, like the prodigal 
son, you cannot enter the paternal home until you have renounced 
perversity. What do you seek so diligently in the Sun on the day of an 
eclipse ? Deceptions are all you can get, as you do not seek to do good 
to humanity, but to deceive, as is proved by the discovery of Mr. J. 
Comas Sola, charging people to observe the eclipse with intelligent 
eyes, with their whole soul. 

Certainly this is the only way to see and understand things of the 
Sun ; and, as a proof, let us say that on the 30th of August last, at 
midday, we were transported to the moon and observed the atmosphere 
there, which, on other occasions a pale ash grey, was dark, as on earth, 
but on the side towards the Sun of many brilliant colours. 

Some went on to the moon ; but we, who had the power to do so, 
proceeded to the Sun, and, after rendering the customary salute to the 
Great Architect, we were shown the plan of the worlds of the universe, 
and the machinery that moves the whole architecture ; and for our 
better understanding, and that we may more easily explain it to 
humanity, all was presented in a material form. Just as we saw it may 
any other who can get there, for the doors are open to all who love their 
neighbours as themselves. 

Further, all have a right to lift up their thoughts and fix them on the 
Sun, and ask if what we have told is true ; and they will be answered 
by other thoughts higher than their own. But that is not all. At the 
same time two women, one of whom was in the Abaixadors Street and 
the other in Salvadors Street, both looking at the Sun through a glass, 
saw the figure of a man with a long white beard and a perpendicular 
triangle seated in a great chair ; but they saw neither hands nor feet, 
owing to the dazzling light, although they could see the arms and the 
body. The women treated us as madmen ; and not long ago they 
caused us to suffer for following and explaining these things, as for them 



22 THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

nothing was true but Catholicism. But now all has changed, and they 
know where to seek the spirit and the truth. 

THE SPIRIT AFTER IT HAS LEFT ITS EARTHLY 
FORM. 

When a human spirit leaves its earthly form it is bewildered, though 
only for a few moments, according to the height it may have scaled in 
the fulfilment of the Divine law. The blind and ignorant spirits have a 
very deep sleep, and when they awake they feel bewildered without 
realising their situation (many believe themselves to be still incarnate 
upon Earth), and they cannot rise up to pass the atmospheric wall 
because the weight of the matter they bear prevents them. They 
remain in what we call space when we look up from the Earth at more 
or less distance therefrom. 

When we look up the atmosphere of the Earth appears to us empty. 
But it is not so, as we can assure you that there are palaces, woods, 
mountains, islands, etc., etc., and that all these places are inhabited by 
human beings who have left their physical form on the Earth. (The 
places which contain these inhabitants have lighter matter than the 
crust of the Earth, and thus the fluid spirits there can find what in 
justice belongs to them.) And, having failed to fulfil the law of peace, 
love, and charity, they are stationed here, and cannot proceed in their 
spiritual progress until charitable brothers justly make them understand 
the position in which they find themselves. If they obey them, they 
are conducted to their place (in atmospherical regions), so that the 
Judge or Regent of Earth may judge them with love and justice. In 
this place is the great book of life, in which are noted all the faults 
the human spirit committed while incarnate on Earth. This book is in 
the custody of a spiritual being who has the human figure of a woman, 
although sufficiently dematerialised (this sister represents the Christian 
idea), and has a power to revise the book, together with the Judge of 
New Jerusalem. 

On every page of the book is on one side the letter V, and on the 
other the letter I, meaning voluntary and involuntary faults. 

Here a little explanation that mankind may not live so lethargically, 
as, although certain sects have spoken of the book of life, very few are 
those who have wished to understand. 

We know that we have all become incarnate on Earth, because we 
have been exiled as rebels ; and the reason of this was the failure to 
fulfil the Divine law, as, if we had fulfilled in any of the worlds of 
plurality, we should have progressed spiritually in light, and we should 
have drawn nearer to the Universal Creator. Although the spiritual 
part seeks to fly whence it came, the material part is contrary, and 
always tries to flatter the passions and evil tendencies, the result of 
which is that the soul (love, peace, and charity) has to struggle bravely 
to conquer the spirit (pride, selfishness, and vanity) ; and, if it conquer, 
it may enjoy its true home without the necessity of being exiled. Well, 



WITHOUT ANY MYSTERY 23 

then, since we left the paternal home, the "Central Sun," we have a 
protecting guide, who always warns us whenever we are going to 
commit some fault against one of our fellow creatures. This is the 
pricking of our conscience, and if we will not obey the warning the sin 
is inscribed in the book of faults. But among the spirits on earth 
many are ignorant — some owing to their education in false religions, 
others owing to the ignorance in which they have lived. When one of 
these commits a fault by the advice of some other malicious person, the 
fault is inscribed in the book under the letter I (involuntary) ; but when 
he knows what he is doing, and does it in spite of his protecting guide's 
warning, then it is written under the letter V (voluntary). All beings, 
when they have left their earthly form, and are judged according to the 
faults they have committed, have not to pay for those that are 
involuntary ; but these are reckoned against him who caused them to 
be committed. If they are voluntary, the human spirit has to suffer 
just as much as it made its fellow creatures suffer. Many beings feel 
ashamed when they see the faults they committed, and swear to be 
brave in the next incarnation ; but they fail to do so, and when they are 
again before their Judge they feel ashamed. Thus the book of life 
and its purpose is explained ; and now we will speak of the degrees 
and elevation of the spirits, as it has been granted us to see them and 
understand them as follows with spiritual sight and language. From 
the earth to the atmospherical boundary there is what appears like a 
flight of stone steps, with a wooden rail ; and joined to this are six 
cables apparently of brass. At every six steps there is a landing-place, 
with a number on it indicating the degree : there are thirteen of these 
landings, and thus thirteen stages or degrees, and those who arrive 
there enjoy fairly well the light of the Sun, but not constantly. Those 
who reach the fourteenth stage and upwards may always enjoy that 

]i g ht - 

The human incarnate spirits go climbing up that stairway with more 

or less fear ; and, according to the elevation they have gained in the 

fulfilment of the Divine Law, they approach the atmospherical 

boundary, where there is a sister, with a straight level in her hand, 

who obliges them to cast off their clothes (pride, selfishness, and vanity) 

before passing the wall. 

We have already said that when a spirit is separated from matter on 
Earth it sleeps for a longer or shorter period, and we are going to 
explain some details that we have had occasion to see in some of our 
excursions through space. 

We went out for a walk through the woods which are found before 
passing from the Earth's atmosphere, and there we saw a great many 
beings who had left their material form. Some of them lay sleeping, 
half-hidden among the branches, until charitable brothers came to 
explain to them that they were free spirits. But they could understand 
nothing of what they were told; on the contrary, they still thought 
themselves incarnate, and wanted to act as they had done then. 

But the charitable brothers, whom they obey, take them to the 



24 THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

staircase we have spoken of, and teach them to climb up, to try the 
degree of light their spirit may have reached ; and, according to his 
strength in the fulfilment of the Divine Law, the protecting guide takes 
him to a department (the moon), to instruct him in philosophy, 
together with other beings who are also studying love, peace, and 
universal charity. 

In different parts of the wood we found a certain class of spirits 
whose pride and selfishness induced them to try to rob their fellow 
creatures ; yet, as God is all love and justice for all His children, 
whether free or incarnate, they cannot do as they would, although they 
think themselves able to do so. 

Spirits of this class are rebels, and will not present themselves before 
the Regent to be judged with love and justice ; on the contrary, they 
prefer a roving existence to spiritual prrogress. When the charitable 
brothers catch them, they are bound by the mere sight of the brothers' 
light and the rectangular triangle. 

Then they are borne away to prison, so that by suffering they may 
be dematerialised, and banish their enemies — pride, selfishness, and 
vanity. 

The prison is a department situated beyond the atmosphere 
surrounding the earth, and is like a material prison (all is presented to 
us in a material form that we may be able to understand it) ; there are 
cells and many guards all around, to see that no prisoner escapes. 
They cannot see the light of the sun clearly, but all is misty and dark. 

The charitable brothers, when they have caught a prisoner, together 
with the protecting guide, explain to the prisoners why they are confined 
there ; and when they have become somewhat purified in justice they 
are taken to study freely among beings who keep the Divine law, just as 
nowadays is done here on the Earth. 

But for those spirits who are triple rebels even study is not allowed ; 
but the regent of the centre of the Earth takes them there, to purify 
them before they again become incarnate. We have seen other beings 
who, on leaving their material form, suffered horribly. For instance, 
the assassin has in his hand the murderous weapon with which his 
crime was committed, and seeks to again revenge himself on his victim, 
who stands before him ; yet he cannot, as he has not form and matter 
with which to carry out his desire, and so he suffers horribly. 

There are the spirits of those who have taken their life by suicide, 
for want of the moral courage to support the adversity which, according 
to them, they suffered, and so resolved to end the sufferings and shame 
by their own hand, believing that so they would suffer no more. 
Unhappy beings ! When they awake from their state of torpor they 
suffer much more than they did when they committed suicide, for 
before them they behold fluidly the body they had slain ; this sight 
causes such grief that it is too horrible for us to describe. He who 
hanged himself is seen suffering in spirit, like those who have shot 
themselves, who endure agonising pains ; while those who cast them- 
selves into the sea must again endure the throes of drowning, etc. 



WITHOUT ANY MYSTERY 25 

Those who on Earth were misers are seen guarding their treasures, 
believing themselves to be still embodied, and when they see other 
material spirits enjoying their wealth they suffer horribly. All these 
spirits are judged after being awakened from their state of bewilder- 
ment ; some are carried to the centre of the Earth and others to prison. 
We have also found in space towns inhabited by very light, gay spirits, 
who enjoy themselves after awakening from their bewilderment, dancing, 
singing, and making fun, and having no care whether their enjoyment 
brings harm to others. All wish to be wise and to be in the right ; but 
all flee from the light, as they prefer the darkness or the material part. 
Many of this class are those who on Earth like to teach others according 
to their own fancy and pleasure, but in the end they are nearly always 
deceived themselves. 

These spirits have had certain philosophic knowledge, and had 
already gained a certain elevation in light ; but, the spirit of pride and 
selfishness having gained the upper hand, they remained stationary in 
spiritual knowledge, and, instead of presenting themselves before the 
Judge of New Jerusalem when they were separated from matter, they 
became fugitives for fear of the Divine justice. For such spirits the 
charitable brothers, who go through the villages and woods, present 
before them a rectangular triangle in order to catch them. They are 
very rebellious, and always try to escape from the brothers who present 
them to the spiritual Judge. After being judged they are condemned 
to take incarnation in the centre of the Earth, whither they are taken by 
the Regent of the Centre. 

We also found a great edifice in atmospheric regions, where the light 
of the Sun may be seen fairly clearly ; and it is built like a material 
hospital ("hospital" of course must be understood spiritually), where 
there are many patients — some in bed seriously ill, some who are 
already getting better and walk through the great halls of the building. 
Others were talking in the gardens to the charitable sisters, who have to 
give them the food that they may need until their convalescence is com- 
plete. Those of the patients who are dangerously ill have physicians 
and assistants, to operate as the case may be, and to give them medicine, 
and the charitable sisters take charge of their toilette and food. 
Immediately they are strong enough to get up by themselves they go 
to join the brothers in the garden, who are enjoying a great measure of 
the sunlight. 

So that humanity may understand us better, a short explanation here 
would be useful. This class of spirits has reached the twelfth degree, 
but has not been able to completely traverse the atmosphere, and they 
are detained for further dematerialisation. The doctor who operates 
examines them to see if their conscience is pure and sound — that is to 
say, if they have largely fulfilled the law of love, peace, and charity 
towards their fellow creatures. The sisters make them understand their 
position, and teach them to philosophise and to rid themselves of their 
enemies, which always prevent the spirit from soaring heavenwards. So 
they continue studying until they again become incarnate on Earth, to 



26 THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

complete the payment of their debts,- or the punishment of suffering 
what they made others suffer. 

We have explained the different situations of the spirits when they 
have abandoned this earthly form, and what those who have not fulfilled 
the Divine law have to suffer ; but those who have kept the law are in 
a very different position. These, when they have departed from this 
world, remain sleeping a few brief moments, and when they awake they 
grasp their position. Their protecting guide accompanies them on 
high, that they may enjoy the degree of light they have obtained ; and 
the greater their degree of dematerialisation, the more easily they 
pass through the atmospheric wall, and enjoy spiritual bliss in their true 
country, together with their brothers, the spirits who fulfil the will of 
the God, Father Creator. 

What a difference between the sufferings of those spirits who do not 
fulfil law and the bliss enjoyed by those who fulfil it of their own free- 
will ! Happy is the man who, being exiled on earth as a rebel, soon 
recognises his enemies and conquers them. Such spirits surely are but 
slightly bewildered on leaving their material form ; rather is it like a 
peaceful dream. 

Later on we shall deal with the progress of the spirit when it has 
left the material form on this Earth, after having fulfilled the Divine law 
here, and the incarnations it takes in the worlds through which it 
passes, following the spiritual scale of ascent and progress until it 
arrives at its paternal home, the Central Sun. First, however, we must 
give the following explanation. 

We said before that, besides mountains, plains, etc., there were also 
islands where human beings live. Very good ; then this island or 
department is situated between the moon and the Earth ; it enjoys a 
great deal of sunlight. When the atmospheric wall was closed those 
who had fulfilled the Divine law in exile could not pass through the 
atmosphere, but were inside when the wedding of the Lamb was 
celebrated. 

Therefore, they had to stop there studying until the door of 
atmosphere, which was closed by Divine Justice, is again opened in 
compassion, so that those who fulfil the Divine law in future may follow 
the route of spiritual progress. 

Now we will relate how we were permitted to see and take part in 
the wedding of the Lamb, of which John the Theologian speaks so 
often in the Apocalypse. 



VISION OF THE ioth OF JANUARY, 1904. 

Closing the Sheep-fold. The Supper and Wedding of the 

Lamb. 

The Shepherd Leaves his Flock and the Crown of 

Thorns to the Bride and Bridegroom. 

My thoughts being raised to the Sun of Justice (the Paternal Home), 



WITHOUT ANY MYSTERY 27 

I first perceived the atmospheric wall, and there I saw three fountains, 
the same as those on Earth, but they were dry. I looked at the wall, 
and saw many masons working there erecting a wall so long that I could 
not see the end of it. 

The workmen went to fetch water from the springs I had seen, and 
they gave abundant water for the work. I asked my guide how it was 
that I had seen these fountains so dry, but now the workmen could 
draw water in abundance, and he told me : This is not drinking water, 
but may only be used for this work. 

The wall, as I have said, was very long, and a wooden door was 
being made, and strengthened on both sides with plates of iron and big 
nails. I looked up and saw that they had put up above the door and 
the wall a red banner bearing. the word "Justice." 

I continued looking along the wall, and beyond it there was a fairly 
long wire fence, and then the wall continued as far as one could see. 
Within the wire fence was a great herd of sheep of a dirty white 
colour, very thin, and some with black or red stains (spirits of the 
Twelfth Degree). 

Then I saw another part, fenced round, in which there were also an 
immense number of sheep — all white, fat, and with brilliants on their 
foreheads (elevated spirits). So that there were two herds, which could 
see each other, but could not join. 

I passed along the wall beside the pure white sheep, and found a 
way, or rather a walk with stone benches, on one of which, opposite the 
door, I saw three brothers watching the construction of the wall. One of 
them was dressed in white, with a pink mantle lined with blue ; on his 
head was a crown of thorns, and his feet were bare. Beside him sat a 
sister, slender and beautiful, dressed in white, and on her forehead a star 
shining brightly. The third, a handsome man, wore a black suit and 
cloak (a regent). This third one received a bundle of papers from him 
who wore the crown of thorns, and then he bid farewell and withdrew. 
The other two converted themselves into a globe of light and departed 
upwards. 

I went towards the beautiful flock to find the Shepherd, and I met 
a brother dressed just like a shepherd on Earth. 

From his pouch he produced some white bread, and gave it to the 
sheep ; but as I begged in charity to be allowed to see him in his natural 
state, he appeared as a brother dressed in white, with the upright 
triangle on his forehead, and at the waist brown cords. 

I left the flock, and, looking up, seeking the globe I had observed 
before, I saw many houses ; but one among all attracted my atten- 
tion. The guide who accompanied me and I went towards it, but 
before we arrived we found a beautiful garden surrounding the house. 
The entrance was formed by three stone columns, and on each column 
were two lions, and on those of the central pillar were three brothers 
with outstretched wings and trumpets, which they were blowing loudly. 

I entered, and was amazed to find such beauty and grandeur. 
First of all I noticed many sisters dressed in white, who very kindly 



28 THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

received those who entered. There were many white doves flying about 
near the ceiling, which was full of stars. Around the house and beneath 
the roof were many suns, in the centre of which was the figure of an old 
man. All were separated from each other, as above each sun was a dove. 

I gathered that in that magnificent hall a great feast was being pre- 
pared, as many brothers were spreading out a long table-cloth ; and 
while they were laying the table appeared the globe of light that I had 
seen formed and rising before the door in the walk. 

At the moment of the entrance all the doves and stars fluttered 
around, and those who were above the globe were transformed into 
brothers like the three who were at the door, and who all three sounded 
at once their long trumpets. There were many seats around the table, 
which were quickly filled, except four, which remained vacant. The 
Sun that had come in was transformed into the two brothers who went 
up in the globe. They wore the same costumes, but on the shoulders 
of each appeared now a sun and a white dove. 

These two brothers went to sit in two of the remaining empty 
chairs, and when I inquired the meaning of the Suns and doves on the 
shoulders of these brothers I was told they were two spirits (materials) 
that occupied matter on Earth, and were dressed in white with a lovely 
triangle on the brow, and from the dove shone a precious brilliant. 
These two brothers occupied the two chairs that were vacant in the 
best place, the two sisters sitting in the middle and the two brothers on 
either side of them. 

Another of the brothers was quickly preparing the table for the 
great supper, and when the food and all necessary had been served a 
very old' brother appeared and approached the one wearing the crown 
of thorns (Jesus), and, after speaking with him a moment, the old one 
withdrew and he with the crown rose from his chair. Then I saw that 
many sisters were disposed to serve them. Some brothers had brought 
an earthenware basin with water, with which Jesus knelt down and 
began washing the feet of all seated at the table ; and while he was 
washing, other brothers hastened to bring him a towel to dry them, 
after which he returned to his seat. Then the sister in the best place 
(the material) arose, and, taking water and a towel, she knelt down and 
washed Jesus's feet, as he had done to the others, and again sat down 
on the same chair. 

When all were ready to eat, I saw very old brothers coming in, all 
dressed in white and with triangles on their brows. These brothers 
brought amidst them a lamb dressed with pink, white, and blue 
ribbons in six pieces, three on each side of the lamb, and at the end 
of each ribbon a star ; one of which each of the six old men held in 
his hand. 

They went up to the four raised seats, and at that moment for a few 
seconds they were converted into one pure and single Sun without 
there being any difference between the four on raised seats and the 
lamb. 

After this moment had passed they remained as before, but each 



WITHOUT ANY MYSTERY 29 

one with a crown ; those of the two sisters and one brother were very 
beautiful, but the other was of thorns, and above them the lamb had 
been transformed into a shining Sun. 

Then all began to eat, and when they had finished all seemed 
happy and content. I saw one go out of the hall, and heard him say 
to those who were outside : " If you like, you can come in to take part 
in the wedding of the lamb." Some then came in, and others remained 
outside. 

When the supper was ended, he who wore a crown of thorns arose, 
and said : "Now, to end the festival, let us have a little dancing." And 
the Suns that were around the hall began to blow their long trumpets 
mightily, and those who had sat at table joined in couples and began to 
dance. 

Then the four who wore crowns got up ; and as they were about to 
dance six brothers entered, such as those who had accompanied the 
lamb ; but these bore a beautiful white banner, with a Sun and a 
triangle upon one side, and on the other a palm. The brothers 
approached him who wore a crown of thorns, and gave it to him, 
together with a key. 

Then he called the material one who had been crowned, saying : 
"Take this banner ; it is for theej as the key is for me. Now we must 
depart from here." And I saw all the brothers go out and mount on 
horseback, the four who were crowned going in front of all. When 
they arrived at the wall mentioned above, they found that it was 
finished. In the walk the one crowned with thorns dismounted, and 
the flock of beautiful sheep and their shepherd all advanced to salute 
him. The other flock of weak sheep, which was tied up outside the 
fence, seeing the others so well received by Jesus, cried out to be also 
allowed to enter. He stopped a moment in front of them, and at last 
said : " I have never known ye." Then he went to the door in the 
wall, locked it with the key he wore, and sealed it with his triangle. 

On high I saw a Sun that shed bright rays of light upon all 
assembled as soon as the door was locked. Then Jesus turned 
towards the one to whom he had given the banner, and handed him 
the key, saying : " Take this ; my work is done ; this is for thee." And 
taking off his crown of thorns, he cast it on the ground, and did the 
same with his garments. 

At this moment a white cloud descended, wrapped itself around 
him, and bore him off on high. Some other brothers who were there 
ascended too ; and I noticed that the cloud that bore them penetrated 
into the Sun that had shone so brilliantly when the door was locked. 
Then this Sun joined another, and that another. And three bright stars 
with long tails appeared before the Sun of Justice, and said : " Lord, 
we have fulfilled our mission "; and at the same time they were trans- 
formed into human beings. I asked the guide accompanying me what 
was the meaning of all this ; and he told me the three stars were 
messengers of the spiritual Father, and had gone out to fulfil His 
commands. I rose still higher ; and, seeing the Sun of Justice, I 



30 THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

entered with my guide, and after saluting the Father we went to sit in 
the places that had been reserved for us. 

Soon after the Sun entered which had borne Jesus, and on arriving 
at the Father's throne all the beings were saluting him with great 
affection and respect. 

This Sun threw himself into the arms of the Creator, and for a 
moment they were united. Afterwards they separated, and the Father 
pointed to a chair apparently of gold, where the newcomer sat down on 
the right of the Creator, who said to him : " Thou hast fulfilled thy 
mission. Sit beside me." 

I was very pleased to see what they did in the Paternal Home ; but 
then I was recalled to matter, and saw no more. 

Thus it is manifest ; and we here bear witness that we were present 
at the spiritual ascension of our brother Jesus, called the Christ, who, 
having found on Earth a brother who could understand him with the 
language of the soul, although in a material state, could, according to 
the law of Divine Justice, charge him with the regeneration of humanity 
on Earth, and ascend to a higher world, as his successor understands 
him perfectly, and justly defends the work which Jesus practised and 
taught on Earth. Yet when wicked brothers took his life to stop the 
spiritual progress, and he left ,his material form on Earth, he did not 
immediately go to his Father's side, but his spirit took incarnation in a 
better world than this one in which we are. 

Out of charity he took part in the regeneration of human beings; 
but not all the beings or spirits had sufficient courage for that, as the 
matter conquered the essence, and they failed to fulfil what they had 
promised when free — namely, to be strong and brave. 

Now, as Peter was the successor to the work of Jesus, and his 
faithful interpreter for humanity, and in fulfilment of the law of Divine 
Justice the moment arrived to celebrate the wedding of the Lamb, the 
key of the sheepfold was given to Peter, the successor, and the 
atmosphere closed for spirits which had not fulfilled the law, as others 
were free to pass as their elevation gave them entrance to the heights. 

The spirits that after the closing of the atmosphere fulfilled the 
Divine Law could not rise on leaving their material form on Earth, but 
remained subject in a department or island between the atmosphere of 
the Moon and the atmosphere of the Earth. 

This island enjoys a great deal of light, and the spirits are instructed 
especially to practise morality towards their fellow creatures, and in 
natural philosophy. 

In the centre of the island is a thick tree (the tree of philosophy) 
with dense foliage, and a sister with an open book in her hand shows 
the spirits the birth of the branches of the tree which come from the 
central Sun. 

If the atmospheric wall was closed by the Law of Divine Justice 
when our brother Jesus ascended on high, by the Law of Mercy a new 
opening was made when the successor of Peter appeared. So the 
beings who were kept studying on the island went towards progress in 



WITHOUT ANY MYSTERY 31 

the spiritual scale, and those who afterwards have continued to comply 
have had to pass through the new opening. But let us explain how 
this took place before our spiritual sight. 

There is a hole in the form of a long, round tube ; and at the 
entrance, which is in the atmosphere that surrounds the Earth, there is 
a grating ; and at a certain distance from this one there is another, and 
further on there is yet a third. All are within the tube. At the end or 
outlet there is a brilliant triangle. 

All beings arriving there, although they may have kept the law, 
salute the guard who is at the entrance of the tube, and then they go 
to salute the regent of the Earth, who is seated at the exit, and has a 
brilliant electric lamp shedding a bright light. The chief of the guard 
at the entrance is attentively watching the brother with the lamp ; and 
from time to time they communicate with each other by the telephone 
(so to speak, that it may be easier to understand by humanity) ; and 
from above the regent of the Earth directs his successor, the chief of the 
guard below. And happy is he if he really knows how to fulfil the will 
of the Father Creator, and with love and justice teaches his brothers to 
fulfil it. His reward will not be wanting. All human beings who have 
left their material form on Earth, and have fulfilled the law of love, 
peace, and charity towards their fellow creatures, approach the tube. 
Beside it stand three women, very white and shining brightly, one of 
whom has an open book. Close to them grows a luxuriant tree (the 
tree of philosophy), whose foliage covers them. High up they see the 
Sun of Justice shedding immense rays of light. 

The sister who has the book calls the chief of the guard, and gives 
the being that has just arrived into his charge. He shows him the 
entrance to the tube, and tells him that before he goes to greet the 
brother with the lamp he must get rid of his apparel (matter), and pass 
through the three bars of the tube, and then through the triangle which 
is at the exit. This is just as easy for those who have overcome pride, 
selfishness, and vanity as it is difficult for those who have not. 

Thus is explained the new passage in the atmosphere, and why it 
was granted. God, the Universal Father Creator, grants His children 
all as soon as they gain it, so that they may see and clearly compre- 
hend His attribute of Justice according to how each one has fulfilled 
His divine commands. 

Thus we cannot all reach His arms at the same time, but each one 
will arrive there as soon as he has the courage to cast off the material 
portion of his spirit and let his essence soar upwards. But do not 
doubt, my brethren, that we shall all get there sooner or later ; for we 
are the work of God, and some day we shall reach Him and embrace 
Him, as we shall recognise that He is the one and only Creator, and 
shall clearly understand His work. He keeps no secrets from those 
who willingly fulfil His law ; on the contrary, He gives them facilities 
to take part in all His work, for He only gives life to the spirits He 
creates, be they human, animal, or vegetable. 

So long as they do not keep His law, God is immutable for His 



32 THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

children ; but as they fulfil, He increases the spark of light with which 
they were endowed at creation, and lets them undertake voluntary 
labours to work charity among their brother-spirits, so that spiritual 
progress may increase and man may be happier. 

THE INCARNATIONS OF SPIRITS AND THEIR PROGRESS 
THROUGH THE WORLDS OF ASCENSION. 

Human spirits, when they have left their material form on this Earth 
or exile, and in the greater part have fulfilled the Divine law towards 
their fellow creatures, rise up and enter into possession of the degree 
they may have reached. If they have passed the second degree of 
light, no further incarnation on Earth is permitted to them ; but they 
become incarnate in the first world of ascension of the " spiritual " 
scale. They cannot become incarnate in their corresponding world 
without first having been so, although it be only for a few brief moments, 
in each of the other worlds of the spiritual scale inferior to their sphere. 

The protecting guide never leaves them, and always recalls the 
Divine commandment for all humans, whether they be incarnate on 
Earth or spirits. Once they have reached a certain degree of light they 
can be useful to freely instruct their inferior brothers and for works of 
charity, just as they receive charity from their protecting guide and 
other higher brothers. 

As he continues to keep the law of love, peace, and charity he 
continues to rise in light and essential knowledge ; and at the same 
time his protecting guide ascends, always obedient to those above him, 
just, as he can give other inferiors the benefit of the knowledge of the 
soul that he may have acquired. 

On another occasion we explained how the spirit is created and 
endowed with a soul, life, and intelligence by our common Father, the 
great Architect of the Universe, the Sun that shines for the poor and 
rich alike, for whites and negroes, etc., and how the spirit is then 
accompanied by its protecting guide through the spiritual scale of the 
worlds of descent, in which it has to assume incarnation until it has 
become sufficiently dematerialised to fulfil the commandment pro- 
nounced by God at its creation. Now we shall explain how incarnation 
is assumed when the Divine law is fulfilled in the spiritual scale of 
worlds of ascension as it has been revealed to us through the sight of 
the soul. 

On one occasion we found ourselves in a great garden, full of 
beautiful trees and many different kinds of bright, pretty flowers. The 
Sun shone with clear, luminous rays, when suddenly there appeared 
in the midst of this garden a lake of clear water (this garden is the 
New Jerusalem) ; and besides there appeared a tree (representing 
natural philosophy) greater and different to all the others in the 
garden, and beneath it there stood a sister (the philosophic idea), 
brilliant as the sunlight, who held an open book in her hands. Around 
the tree were many spirit brethren, who listened attentively to what 



WITHOUT ANY MYSTERY 33 

she was saying. Suddenly among the plants and flowers we saw 
something moving that attracted our attention, and, as we looked closely 
to see what it was, we perceived that it was a human spirit becoming 
incarnate in the garden. Its mother was the Earth, as in all the worlds 
of the spiritual scale both of descent and ascent, except in the place of 
exile, where material generation, as known to the human race to-day, 
has taken place since the beginning of the second epoch. 

The Earth or soil which, like a mother, gives form to the spirits is 
more or less gross according to the elevation of each world, being more 
fluid in the worlds of ascension than in those of descent, each one 
being prepared according to the corresponding class of spirits by the 
law of spiritual progress. All who were in the garden saw how the 
spirit became incarnate, which was as follows. Having completed 
the reincarnation in exile, and having in the greater part fulfilled the 
Divine commandment, the guide conducted him to the world of 
ascension, and left him in the ground to assume the form that belonged 
to him. This took place while he slept a few minutes, and meanwhile 
he was covered with a fine rain like snow ; and when this ceased 
we saw that beneath a large, fat caterpillar was moving and slowly 
crawling about. Suddenly it remained inert, without any movement at 
all, and from it there arose a beautiful butterfly, which did not succeed 
in flying. 

Gradually, however, it gathered strength in its weak wings, and its 
protecting guide did not leave it out of its sight one instant, and as they 
were fluidly joined together the guide could easily watch over every 
action of his protege. 

When its wings were stronger it began to fly more easily, until it 
reached the tree where the sister was sitting with the book; then it 
began to eat the leaves of the tree, and all the human beings there 
gladly applauded its action. 

How we saw the incarnation of spirits in the first world of ascension 
is thus explained. Later on it was also granted us to see incarnations 
in superior worlds, which took place in the same manner as above, only 
the forms varying in some worlds. 

Spirits only require one incarnation in each world, except on Earth, 
and they go on dematerialising until they reach the Sun-Father-Creator 
and enter into His being. After being incarnate in the first world of 
ascension, spirits leave that shape, falling asleep on the ground, when 
they are covered with thick dew. Soon they reawake and are again 
free spirits, always rising upwards, until at last, by the law of spiritual 
progress, they become incarnate in the highest world in the same 
manner as took place before. 

When they awake they find themselves bound up with matter, 
which is, however, very light. They feed on the animals and vegetables 
which are provided for them in all the different worlds where they become 
incarnate ; but the higher the world, less gross becomes the food of the 
human being. 

The forms of the humans are short of stature and somewhat stout, 



34 THE CREATION EXPLAINED 

and the animals are very similar to those known in exile, but 
tamer ; and the vegetables produce abundant fruit to satisfy all require- 
ments. 

When the human being has awoke in this world the first thing he 
does is to fly towards the tree in the centre of this seeming garden with 
its great lake like a sea. 

Leaning against the trunk of this tree is a brother, whom the spirits 
greet with great respect and affection. He receives them with a close 
embrace, and they go to join other brothers who are discussing 
philosophy around the tree. Following the spiritual progress of 
ascension, they fall asleep on their mother Earth, which is full of 
flowers and pretty plants. When they awake they are free of matter, 
and as they already enjoy much light they can easily rise towards the 
Creator and the Paternal Home as their wings assist their flight. 

When they have risen to a higher world they again become incarnate 
as before, but each time they grow more fluid. On awakening they 
find themselves with the corresponding matter, but this is very light. 
Neither pride, selfishness, nor vanity dominates them ; all beings there 
find their enjoyment in the practice and teaching of morals to their 
fellow creatures. They enjoy the purest bliss. They know neither 
moral suffering nor material generation. 

They understand the language of the soul perfectly, and use it 
with their protecting guides and the Father himself. In this world they 
assume beautiful forms ; nearly all beings incarnate there have fairly 
large wings. On their head or brow they wear a brilliant star, but in 
some cases, although the star is there, its light is dull. 

Of the animals some have wings and four feet, and resemble the 
horses on Earth. 

For the convenience of human beings they may use their wings, 
but otherwise they go on foot as on Earth. They are always submissive 
to human beings, who may use them whenever they need, but taking 
care always not to abuse this privilege. 

Then once more he falls asleep on mother Earth to leave the 
material form, and on awakening ascends to another higher world, 
where he again becomes incarnate as before, enjoying still purer 
morality and spiritual sympathy as he approaches nearer to the Sun. 

All that separated him as he proceeded through the plurality 
of worlds without having fulfilled the Creator's commandment when he 
was created, now that he complies brings him nearer the more he shows 
love, peace, and charity towards his fellow creatures. 

Some humans incarnate in worlds nearer to the Sun have a manly 
face, long, thick hair covering their shoulders, two great wings, the 
brightest of stars upon their brows, and a long tail such as lions have 
on earth. Others bear also three or four little horns on their heads 
with a beautiful light. Again, others are short and round, but light 
seems to radiate from them, and yet others are in the form of triangles. 

When they become incarnate in the world nearest to the Sun they 
are converted into the very image thereof. Many appear to be

greater in volume, but have not the rays nor the colour of the King of 
Stars. Although many traditions say that many Suns exist, there is 
not the slightest doubt one only is the sole Author of the entire 
universe. 

When the spirits have reached the greatest and purest dematerialisa- 
tion and have undergone incarnation in all the worlds where in justice 
they had to incarnate in the course of spiritual progress, then they become 
incarnate in the Sun itself. This takes place by a pure union of 
essence, as in the Sun there is no matter of any kind, but all kinds of 
essences for the generation of nature. 

Within the Sun there is a great hall, and there sits the Universal 
Creator, and around Him are brothers who obey Him faithfully. 

At a little distance there is a garden, apparently material, but 
really all is essence. Then there is a great lake full of clear 
water, where you see many animals of all kinds, and around a stone 
bench (all fluid) on which some brothers (in essence) are seated 
watching the movement of the waters. Suddenly our intelligence per- 
ceived from the midst of the garden a bright spark of light that 
entered the hall and in a moment flashed from there to the lake, where 
it was converted into Sun and was joined to the other brothers who 
were there. 

We hereby bear witness to having seen all the foregoing with the 
sight of the soul, and understood it in our mind. All that soul 
(essence) need do from the moment that it is sown in the spirit (matter) 
is : Do unto thy neighbours as thou wouldst be done by. Thus you 
can conquer all spiritual forms and present them to your Father as 
trophies and proofs of having been stalwart warriors, and in reward 
He will receive you in His arms and will increase your light. 

I repeat what I said at the beginning : I will be answerable for the 
delay any souls may experience in the spiritual career if they do not 
depart from the teachings of this little work.
